Trimmers leaving wide gaps

We have lawn maintenance person. We have noticed that over time the the gap between the driveway and the lawn are wider. Also the concrete curbing soil is washing away leaving gaps
We're curious what others think about this. We like a very thin line between the driveway/concrete curbing and the grass.

Is there a trick you use to tell the lawn maintenance person to do?

It's something that just happens over time when they use a strong trimmer and not a stick edger. They keep the line against the grass, rather than against the concrete. Grass won't eat up line like concrete will, so they save money. So over time that line moves further and further back towards your yard.

It's just so they can move quicker, cheaper, and have more obvious to the eye results.

Edge yourself, or have the conversation with them about what your seeing.
